My Story

25 Aug 2025

This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! I lost my 30 year old daughter Nicole to leiomyosarcoma in 2016, I ride my bicycle for her. She wasn't supposed to leave this earth before me!

Why? Because right now, cancer is the biggest killer of children from disease in the United States. Over 15,700 children are diagnosed every year, and sadly, 38 children die of cancer every week.

Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

So I am raising funds through my challenge to help these kids and support Children's Cancer Research Fund to allow them to continue their work to develop lifesaving treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.

There are so many ways to support this cause. Make a donation, join my team, start your own team of 1 or many, to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will change lives.

Thank you,

Amy
